THIS IS NOT EVEN FUNNY

“A 35-year veteran police officer with the New Orleans Police Department was suspended, with only 15 minutes left on his last shift, for wearing the wrong uniform shirt.

Sergeant Guidry told New Orleans’ Times-Picayune paper that he wore the shirt on his last day out of respect to the 18 police officers who had been killed in the line of duty during his long career, all of whom wore the same uniform. Because the suspension was active at the end of his shift, he will no longer be eligible to receive his retired police commission and will not be accepted into the agency’s reserve unit as he had intended to do. Police department spokesman Bob Young has said that Guidry’s personnel record will indicate that he retired “under investigation.”
